AmbiRad - Airbloc product story

Airbloc ambient air curtains serving loading bay doors help protect 35,500m interior from draughts to maintain constant 16degC comfort temperature for staff.
IDS Logistics stores a wide range of goods - from textiles to beauty products - for leading companies, including Marks and Spencer.
Boxed products are stored in racks on the ground and mezzanine floors until being shipped out to the owners' distribution centres nationwide.
Within the building, warmth is supplied by 18 AmbiRad gas-fired warm air units which circulate heat evenly around the building.
The Airbloc air curtains, positioned over external doorways, allow the doors to remain open with relatively little detriment to internal comfort conditions or energy usage.
The air curtains deliver a sheet of ambient air across the doorway which effectively blocks the transit of cold air from outside while preventing internal warmed air from escaping.
Anticipated reduction in energy loss from the open doorway is up to 80%.
The heating is controlled centrally by a Vickers computerised management system that maintains a constant 16degC during the warehouse's 24-hour operation.
